Redcar and Cleveland, Redcar (TS10)
TS10 1AH in Redcar (TS10) has a High flood risk - EA NaFRA2 data records 3 properties at high flood risk. Heat risk is Lower, with a median (50th percentile) of 10 days above 25°C per year, averaged over the 2021-2040 period under the RCP8.5 high emissions scenario (Met Office UKCP18). Air quality is Low at PM2.5 5.3 μg/m³, above the WHO annual guideline of 5 μg/m³ (Defra UK-AIR). Ground conditions are Low risk, with Eolian Sand geology; shrink-swell risk is classed as improbable (BGS GeoClimate).
Flood risk at TS10 1AH is rated High, based on Environment Agency NaFRA2 modelling.
Environment Agency flood zone data places TS10 1AH in the high flood risk band. EA NaFRA2 data shows 3 at high risk, 3 at low risk in this postcode. The band reflects the highest flood risk within the postcode; some properties within this postcode may face little or no direct flood risk. A formal flood risk search and review of buildings insurance availability is recommended before any property transaction in this area.
Air quality at TS10 1AH is rated Low, based on Defra UK-AIR annual mean PM2.5 data. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) comes primarily from road traffic, industry, and domestic burning. Long-term exposure above the WHO guideline of 5 µg/m³ is linked to respiratory and cardiovascular health risks. Buyers and renters in higher air quality risk areas may wish to consider whether the property is near busy roads or industrial sources.
British Geological Survey data classes the underlying soil at TS10 1AH as Eolian Sand, with shrink-swell hazard rated improbable (subsidence risk band: Low). A structural survey is the reliable way to assess ground conditions for a specific property.
The nearest projected coastal erosion zone to TS10 1AH is 88 m away (Erosion projected by 2055 (no climate change uplift) - SMP policy: Hold The Line mapping) and the postcode is in the very high coastal erosion risk band. Coastal erosion risk varies along the shoreline depending on local geology, sea defences and Shoreline Management Plan policy. Check the Shoreline Management Plan for this stretch for the projections that apply to a specific property.
This LocalRisk report for TS10 1AH draws on four official UK open data sources: Environment Agency NaFRA2 flood modelling, Met Office UKCP18 climate projections, Defra UK-AIR PM2.5 monitoring, and British Geological Survey GeoClimate subsidence mapping. Risk ratings are a screening tool, complementing - not replacing - the searches and surveys ordered as part of a property transaction. Data covers Redcar and Cleveland and is updated as new official datasets are published.
Redcar and Cleveland has a coastal and industrial setting with river valleys and upland fringes inland and experiences cool, wet winters and mild summers, influenced by North Sea exposure and former industrial land use.
Practical check: EA flags 6 properties at flood risk here, near the coast - compare the floor level to the highest recorded tide line and check for flood resilience measures. The nearest projected erosion zone is 88m away - check the Shoreline Management Plan policy for this stretch and whether the property is within 100 years of the erosion line. These are postcode-level indicators - conditions vary between individual properties.
